Genuine tempo from Pink Vixen leading Crusader Voyage. PINK VIXEN (6) showed plenty of determination when edging out her rivals at the Gold Coast last start 11 days ago, and she looks well placed to make it back-to-back victories. The drop in the weight with the rise in class will help, and from the pole position, she won't be far away. VANDEVELDE (7) dropped in class from a couple of tough fields and finished runner-up to the top pick in the same race. He has a big chance to upgrade his modest effort at this trip, so stick with him. VOODOO LASS (5) is much better than her recent form suggests and she will notice the drop in class for her peak run fourth up from a spell. A 3kg claim makes her a top 4 chance in this. SWAG (3) has improved with racing this prep and should now be nearing peak fitness after a solid fourth at Grafton. Include in all combos. GIAPPONESE (2) will find this easier than his last start, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he is well worth including in all combinations. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pink Vixen can win this.
